501 In sea exposed areas, to prevent galvanic corrosion, a non-hygroscopic insulation material shall be
applied between steel and aluminium. Bolts with nuts and washers shall be of stainless steel.
Guidance note:
Stainless steel shim is considered applicable non-hygroscopic material.
---e-n-d---of---G-u-i-d-a-n-c-e---n-o-t-e---
502 Horizontal inertia forces in bolted connections may be required to be taken up by metal to metal stoppers
with insulation tape in the gap.
DET NORSKE VERITAS AS
503 Aluminium superstructures, which are provided with insulating material between aluminium and steel,
shall be earthed to the hull. See Pt.4 Ch.8.
504 For welded connections, any bimetallic connection flats shall be delivered from approved manufacturer
and with DNV certificate.
505 These rules consider aluminium helicopter decks as being equivalent to steel with respect to fire integrity
when tested as outlined below.
Test procedure:
Size of prototype helicopter deck 5 5 m.
A static load simulating actual helicopter weight to be present on the deck.
Helicopter fuel shall be continuously supplied to the deck for 10 minutes, so that the deck is filled with fuel
at all times during the test. At all times during the test should fuel be dripping from drainage arrangements
while there is a fire on the deck.
Acceptance criteria (visual observations of the deck and sealing):
The helicopter deck shall not collapse or be deformed.
No fuel leakage or flames shall be observed under the deck.
The test shall be witnessed by a recognized Society.
Guidance note 1:
This test does not consider other aspects like for instance rotor damage caused by an overturned helicopter. For class
notation HELDK-S/SH/SHF, aluminium helicopter decks are required to be tested as outlined above.
The test report is subject to DNV's approval.
---e-n-d---of---G-u-i-d-a-n-c-e---n-o-t-e---

102 Both the normal operational conditions and any identifiable accidental conditions shall be considered.
The following loads are in general to be considered:
103
For landing platforms erected as separate structure the following loads are also to be considered:
104 In the landing condition, the landing impact force shall be combined with associated environmental
loads. Heel and trim need normally not be considered.
105 The loads in 200 to 500 shall be combined as follows:
Operational conditions:
1) Landing condition
landing force
gravity and inertia forces of the structure with equipment.
2) Stowed condition (helicopter lashed onboard)
201
Pv = 2 g0 MH (kN)
MH = maximum take-off mass in t of helicopter.
The total force Pv shall be considered as distributed on the helicopter's landing gear in the same manner as when
the helicopter is resting on a horizontal surface and the helicopter's centre of gravity is in its normal position in
relation to the landing gear.
B 300 Gravity and inertia forces (due to vessel motions and accelerations)
301 The dynamic design forces caused by the platform structure itself and, if applicable, by the helicopter in
its stowed position are preferably to be taken either from direct calculations or model tests.
Worst case realistic load combinations of static and dynamic design forces shall be considered.
302
Guidance note:
For ships in world-wide operation, inertia forces can be determined from Pt.3 Ch.1 Sec.4, and combined according to
Pt.3 Ch.1 Sec.4 C500 for operational conditions.
---e-n-d---of---G-u-i-d-a-n-c-e---n-o-t-e---

201 For location at ship's ends a free approach and take-off sector of 210 is required. The whole deck or
landing area shall be located within this sector.
Guidance note:
The ship end location is recommended.
---e-n-d---of---G-u-i-d-a-n-c-e---n-o-t-e---
202 For helicopter landing areas located amidships, across ship obstacle free sectors shall be provided. These
sectors shall originate at the most forward and aft points on the periphery of the D reference circle and diverge
at 15 forward and 15 aft relative to straight transverse lines.
203 For any helicopter landing areas amidships located adjacent to the ships side with one-sided approach,
the obstacle free sector shall originate at the most forward and aft points on the periphery of the D reference
DET NORSKE VERITAS AS
For naval craft, the requirements in 201 to 204 may be deviated from if so required by the navy.
Guidance note:
Vertical component of airflow from horizontal wind velocities up to 25 m/s should not exceed 0.9 m/s over the landing
area at main rotor height.
Some helicopter operators may require turbulence conditions for different wind directions above the helicopter deck
and information of possible exhaust emission from the ship that may have effect on the landing conditions.
Such environmental conditions are not covered by the HELDK-SH notation, and are considered the operators
responsibility to provide as applicable.
---e-n-d---of---G-u-i-d-a-n-c-e---n-o-t-e---
The landing area should be as flush as possible to avoid damage on skids, wheels or pontoons.
302
Steel or other solid construction at perimeter may extend 50 mm above deck level.
303 In the approach sector, on and outside of perimeter, only aids essential to helicopter operations are
allowed to extend up to a maximum height of 250 mm, e.g. landing lights, floodlights, foam monitors, outer
edge of safety net and similar arrangements.
304 In bow or stern located helicopter landing areas, outside the obstacle free sector, obstacle heights shall
be limited to 0.05 D to a distance 0.62 D from the centre of the landing area and thence are required to be below
